Antipodean Started a new thread 7 Thousand Million

1/27/2012 9:32am
Yes, I refuse to adopt the artificial American definition of “billion”, contrived, I’m sure, because American millionaires wanted to call themselves “billionaires” well before they “really” were.

Anyway...

First time an Aussie-owned team (JDR/J-Star/KTM) qualifies an Aussie rider in each Class of an AMA Supercross Main Event - Ryan Marmont (Lites) and Tye Simmonds (Opens).
